from book-worms to cd-rom
you've got
the whole world in your hand
no, it's
the whole library in your hand
'tis the latest trend
you move with the entire
encyclopedia hand in hand
cartoon strips
& breathtaking graphics
will get your eyes fixed
digitalized speech
makes no squeaks
absolutely no screech
punctuated with
humors & fancy wishes
animated without a slightest twitch
still frames with still text
still frames with running text
running frames with still text
running frames with running text
whatever your objectives
all will be met
between audio & visuals
choices & voices
it'll automatically be switched
as book-worms take their wounds
CD-ROMs make their booms
will hardcopy books see their dooms
maybe not so soon?
dedicated to Dr & Mrs Inke & Justus Woydt, Germany
